Newbie question - Installating KOHA on a share hosting
Dear all, I finally manage to install KOHA on my local PC using win.XP as the operating system. Right now I'm trying to install KOHA on a share hosting. Since I don't have the super user access I'm trying to install KOHA using the manual on how to install KOHA without root. There are several questions that I like to ask: 1. The share hosting did not have several perl modules which are needed by KOHA, is there a way to solve this problem? 2. The manual ask me to arrange for a user called opac and set the user in the OPAC virtual host. Could anyone explain what kind of user? Is it a mysql user or a user on the share hosting (linux user)? I can only access the hosting using Cpanel + FTP, I have no SSH access, so I don't think I have the access to create a user. Is there a way to solve this problem? 3. The manual ask me to Copy koha distro koha\* into /pathto/cgi-bin/oadmin (including C4 directory and its contents). I get confious because the manual never ask me to make /pathto/cgi-bin/oadmin, the manual ask me only to make /pathto/cgi-bin/koha and /pathto/cgi-bin/koha/C4. And what does it mean by distro koha\*, does it mean the whole directory and file extracted from the koha-1.2.3.tar? cheers, yuan

You should be able to install perl modules under $HOME and add the path to PERL5LIB in the htaccess file. You will have problems building them without a shell unless you have access to a compatible system to your hosting provider. libyaz and Net::Z3950 will be especially tricky. If you are installing without root, I believe that you can use the koha 2.0 installer if you have a shell and two virtual hosts. I think it should be possible with one virtual host, but it needs some code changes. The opac user can be your normal user if it must, I think. If you do succeed with this, please publish how. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing
